"What?" the Judge who hadn't spoken a word in a while, asked.
Isabella's eyes shut and her head ducked. As her mind replayed the events that led to her losing her child at that time, her heart became even heavier.
"Miscarriage?" the man's deep questioning voice asked almost uncertainly.
As Mr. Richard's hand came onto hers to offer his own little support, her mind instantly went to Charles. There was a time she wanted to tell him about it. But at that moment... her entire being was against the idea.
"Yes." The atmosphere had become heavy with emotion. "That day when she helped herself into the hospital, she was so numb. It was until I noticed bloodstains on her gown and ran tests that I could deduce she had suffered a loss."
"Did she say what happened?"
Dr. Jones shook his head. "Contrary to how lively she used to be, she suddenl

“Let’s hope for some luck,” the district head police said as Charles and Richard bade him farewell. They had gone to gather information about Gabriel’s charges which of course was waiting to be attended too.“What’s your plan exactly?” Richard asked Charles who looked ahead thoughtfully as he stopped his steps for a while.“If Gabriel ends up behind bars, Isabella won’t be in danger anymore. It’s as simple as that.”“But don’t forget that anything might happen along the line,” Richard added.“Yes…” The tall man drew a long breath. “We have no idea what my mother is up to. If only she could just be sane for once and see how happy I am.”Richard said nothing to his friend and client’s spoken thought. Instead, a small pat on his broad s

To make matters worse, he was not able to celebrate with Isabella properly, for finally winning the battle.That was more reason to see his mother at that moment.He finally made it to her room and took a deep breath to collect himself. Hardening his face after, he pushed the door hard and as his eyes scanned the room, he smiled.With his father with them, the whole thing was going to play out amazingly.“Charles, where are your manners? Have you lost your senses, you don’t know how to knock anymore?” his mother quizzed, her brows furrowed. Charles could still sense the Isabella topic beneath her question but he said nothing yet. He just walked to chair and sat.

If one could sense the way her heart pounded, they would think she was about to enter a lion’s den where she could get torn apart. Even Isabella found it ridiculous and uneasy that she was acting that way. So, she pulled at her top and inwardly told herself to be calm.It was just Gabriel she was going to see. And when she finally leaves his sight, she will finally be free.So, seeing him one last time, even if within prison walls shouldn’t hurt at all.“There will be a guard with you to ensure nothing out of place happens,” the man who had been leading them said, his hand adjusting his crooked glasses after.

It was happening all over again.It was exactly how it went years ago. He had waited for her. A minute late turned to thirty minutes late. Then, an hour then two before the officiating priest got tired of waiting.Charles didn’t know what to feel first. Anger? Hatred? Disappointment? Sadness?Isabella, like that day was already thirty minutes late and the judge couldn’t bear to be so delayed. Charles wondered, if she had made that promise out of pity when in fact she must have had some plan tucked away in her head.As he walked out of the elevator, he felt his whole body shake. But it was not over yet. Someone within him knew she would show up. But if she doesn’t… he knew damn well he won’t forgive her ever.Just through the glass doors of the building which housed a court room am

From a distance, she watched, anger running through her veins.How dare her son get married without her being there? Even if she did not agree to his choice, as his mother, she had every right to witness that moment that comes but once- well, except he divorces the woman and gets married again.Even her husband who had informed her of the hurried ceremony didn’t mention even subtly that she could come. Instead, he had asked her why she hated the woman called Isabella.From the car which she stalked the duo, she noticed how wide Isabella’s smile was and she definitely did not miss how transformed the woman was.Why?

“You what now?” Caleb’s face wore the utmost surprise on his face. Isabella gave a small smile followed by a little shrug as though she didn’t just tell him she was married already.“Are you being serious? Is that why you-?” His eyes roamed her body and even her sudden change took him by surprise even more.“I got married yesterday.” His eyes darted to her left hand and there it was, the ring that bound her to Charles. Even Isabella found it strange.She never wore a ring while she was with Gabriel. If she did, Isabella was certain she would have felt more suffocated just by looking at it.As she studied the simple art on the small ring that had Isabella wondering when Charles ever had the time to pick it, Caleb said, “How come I wasn’t invited then?”It hit Isabella.
